Today felt both short and long at the same time. Too many things fighting for attention: refining my strategy, researching keywords and niches, defining archetypes, releasing a new version of #Deeditt, preparing blog posts, social content, and even the monthly newsletter.

So many moving parts that I barely managed to finish.

But that’s the reality of starting something from scratch — everything needs to be done, often at once. It’s messy, overwhelming, but also exciting.

This is day one of...

This first week felt like a storm of effort with little to show—no clear wins, no users joined (yet), and a constant push against the current of social media.

I reached out to dozens of people, refined my message daily, and stayed active across platforms. But most replies were cold or absent. Some felt like they just wanted a new follower, not a conversation, just attention. That’s the hard part—realizing most platforms are built for performance, not conn...

It’s been three weeks into this #challenge, and I’ve started to notice where my expectations don’t quite line up with reality.

The blog is getting more traction than the landing page, which feels strange. Part of me wonders if I’ve been putting too much energy into content that’s easier to engage with, instead of guiding people toward the real goal. It’s a reminder that attention doesn’t always equal action.

Social media has been a similar lesson. Seeing profile views, likes, and comments can...

I've been feeling a bit stuck with the challenge lately 😕 but #Deeditt is still moving forward behind the scenes with new features, bug fixes, and better mobile app integration. These days, I've been juggling Deeditt's internal changes, a few social media posts, and my part-time job work. The urgency is because I'm taking a few days off soon, and I want to wrap up everything pending so I can just write and keep documenting for my mental health.

A relevant things last week is, I stopped my...

October started with a burst of energy and big dreams for #Deeditt, but two weeks in, and I'm feeling the struggle 😓. Every single day, I've been pushing myself to create content, test different social media strategies, and honestly? I now understand these platforms inside out 🧠 but very poor growth. Actual social networks require time and that's something I reject to spend on them.

I'm working on a new release that's going to be a #GameChanger. Deeditt is getting a premium layer 💎 because...

Another month is wrapping up, and we've reached the halfway point of the #Deeditt challenge — four months to bring in 100 users. More people are signing up, which is great, even though no one has started writing anything yet. I know these things take time, and people usually need a bit of trust and inspiration before they start sharing.

The #growth is slow but steady, and I can already see small spikes in activity. I'm focused on consistency and real #engagement over quick vanity metrics.

A few days ago, someone asked about my #progress with Deeditt, and I said, "It's progressing—slow, but progressing." And yes, it's true, numbers are great but I have to recognize I've probably taken the slowest path for growth, and I might have decided wrong, but it's done and I'm continuing this way.

Multiple times I've started using social networks because I thought it was the right way to bring people, but used only to grow tired after a month and leave them again. Everything there seems...

Four months ago I set myself a clear challenge: bring 100 users to #Deeditt.

Time passed. I didn't reach the number. I did get new users, but not enough to "win" the #challenge. What I did notice, though, is that every single one of them was real. Some stayed, some didn't. No fake engagement, no forced usage. Just people choosing freely but with reservations.

During these months I tried different online #strategies. Different social networks. Posting, commenting, engaging. Sometimes...
